Tune into this very interesting statistic and heat-map that I found! The stat outlines that 6 areas in the city listed below have less than 96% rates of home internet access #education #toronto #technology

Did you know? #em203

Interesting statistic on the access divide in Toronto: In a survey conducted of a sample Toronto residents, 49% of individuals do not have home internet due to its cost

@Sflecce would you say that the education system was equipped for an online transition during the pandemic? How has digitalization and COVID changed the face of education. I would love to hear your perspective!

@Sflecce I am looking to take your perspective on how the pandemic has increased the digital divide. The way kids are taught has changed and with that comes a plateau of benefits but we can’t ignore the downfalls, what’s your take on this?

MIIGWECH! Have a good night y’all #WeTheNorth

@EM203ASubotic A problem you can add into your concept map that builds off technology and accessibility is how COVID-19 has increased the digital divide (this is actually what I have made my concept map about). It’s so interesting to see our problems overlap! #em203problems

@EM203_Billing The divide and segregation of social classes is a serious issue. It can lead to worsened income inequality and worse health outcomes.#EM203problems

A problem you could add is the digital divide we have seen in classrooms, and how it can effect different learning strategies. @EM203_Billing #em203problems

@EM203SHarburn Hey Simon! This course really opened my eyes on how its not beneficial to multi-task. All this time, I’ve been thinking I can watch tv while working but clearly this is doing more harm than good. Thanks for sharing 😊

@EM203KevinAbey Hey Kevin, thanks for sharing your experience! I agree with you, having a network really enables one to grow through the learnings of others. Also, being able to understand more about the learning theory of collectivism has been so insightful!

Throughout my first few weeks of EM203 I have realized that being adaptive and having a vast network is crucial to learning and the topic of collectivism is becoming more prominent in the digital age. I am excited for the rest of the semester! #Em203robin

@em203ggepilano Hey, agree with you! I too chose to learn the Sudoku puzzle, and having never done one before, it was really interesting breaking down my learning experience, oh and not to mention I can now brag that I can do hard level Sudoku 😊

@EM203JackS Hey Jack, I have really enjoyed this course as well! I think its so fascinating on how different learning theories each explore unique concepts. I would love to hear more on what you find most interesting about learning in a digital age sometime!

Really enjoyed my first 3 weeks in #EM203Robin exploring learning in a digital age through various media and learning theories

@em203kpowell I definitely agree, the concepts in this course have been very insightful and interesting, especially being able to learn about different learning theories. I think the fact that technology has such an impact on our learning is fascinating!

The first few weeks of my class have been very interesting and the lessons have been something quite different to what I am used to. I am really enjoying them so far. I realized how we can be learners in this digital age. #Em203Robin

In past three weeks of #Em203robin I have been able to learn the significance of cognitivism and how it can make learning more effective in one’s everyday life! This can be in terms of problem-solving, increasing memory, or retaining information faster.
